PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS - Buildings
shall be manufactured by Bally Modular Structures.
A.
Panels shall consist of interior and exterior metal skins formed with steel dies
and roll-forming equipment and checked with gauges for uniformity and accuracy.
The metal skins shall be placed into steel molds and liquid urethane injected
between them. For extra rigidity, the exteriors of all vertical panels, except
corners, shall have vertical grooves spaced on 5-3/4" centers. Panels over
12 feet high will also have interior vertical grooves. Urethane shall be
foamed-in-place (poured, not frothed) and, when completely heat-cured, shall
bond to the metal skins to form a rigid 4"-, 5"-, or 6"-thick
insulated panel. Panels shall contain 100-percent urethane insulation and have
no internal wood between the skins. To insure tight joints, panel edges must
have foamed-in-place tongues and grooves with a flexible vinyl gasket also
foamed-in-place on the interior and exterior of all tongue edges.
B. All panels except comer panels
shall be made in 23" and 46" widths, and shall be fully
interchangeable for easy assembly. Panels 11- 1/2" or 34-1/2" wide are
to be furnished only when required to fit the allocated space. To assure correct
alignment and maximum strength, comer panels shall be 90 degree angles with
exterior horizontal dimensions of 12" on each side.
C. Panels shall be equipped with Bally
"Speed-Lok®" joining devices. The distance between locks shall
not exceed 46". Each locking device shall consist of a cam-action, hooked
locking arm of a replaceable type placed in one panel, and a steel rod precisely
positioned in the adjoining panel, so that when the lacking arm is rotated, the
hook engages over the rod and draws the panels tightly together with carn
action. When tested, the tensile strength of the Speed-Lok connection shall not
be less than 750 pounds. The locking arms and steel rods shall be housed in
individual steel pockets set into the pockets. Pockets on one side of the panel
shall be connected to pockets on the other side, in width, by the use of steel
straps set into the insulation. When panels are joined together - these straps
shall form "perimeters of steel," with lock-to-lock-to-lock
connections for extra strength. An aligning device shall be provided in at least
one "Speed-Lok" pocket for every vertical panel. Press-fit caps shall
be provided to close wrench holes.
